Do you Peep?

A few short hours of sleep is all I'm existing on at the moment to try and juggle making selling stuff, present stuff, tick jobs off on the long long list of things to do and remember for Saturday and in the middle of all this I chose this week to change my car. So a failed MOT and then work on the old one and all the paperwork to sort for the new one. Hope we can fit everything in it for Saturday as I've swapped a big beast for a small one. There probably could have been better timing?

The Playmobil advent is fast becoming one of the favourites after the card ones. The snowy scene is gradually building up with a few additions from me. Well you need a cosy cottage in the wood and toadstools - they're de rigeur in playmobil land.

We're in the press again. I promise you this is the last - for a while at least. We were thrilled with this double page spread as it really promotes the market, us, the changing face of the craft fair and how blogging has become a networking essential for many of us crafty types.

Sighs of relief are hard to miss around here as they know they'll have the table back very soon. No more meals on trays and the glitter and pens can come out at last.

Amongst the chaos of trying to find things, I finally sorted an organised space today. I could actually see what I was trying to make.

The basket of new stock is slowly filling up - only a handful of mistletoe kisses to finish now. I've hired Coco Before Chanel from the library to watch while I put those last few stitches in tonight.

I'm so thrilled with how the trinket and buttony bags have turned out. I've been having lots more stitchy ideas as I worked on these, but they'll have to be tried out another day.

Now going back a day or two. Spot the roadsign for Pick 'n' Mix just outside of Cley. I think this lady looks interested, don't you? Hope she comes along.

We'll be setting up the hall tomorrow night and seeing just how funny our handmade decorations look. They were made pretty quickly out of crepe paper and I'm not sure they're up to a drive with a mad dog in the car. We'll have fun whatever happens. Looking forward to seeing our plans become a reality and meeting all the lovely makers.

All the best for tomorrow, hope its a roaring success. Thanks so much for my beautiful mistletoe brooch. It arrived on Monday and looks fantastic on my work coat. I love it! Huge apologies for taking so long to let you know but I've hardly stopeed to turn around this week!

I have been thinking of you all week and I just know it's going to be a fab day for you tomorrow! Big love to you and let me know how it goes, hangers look amazing by the way wanted to buy them all back!!!! xx

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. I read all of them and really appreciate you taking the time to say hello. I always try to get back and reply, but sometimes this may take a bit longer as pets and children always seem to need attention around here.

About Me

Hello

I'm at my best and happiest when I'm making. Vintage cloth is my absolute passion to work with. I love to make vintage style frocks, clothes and bags from the fabric I source. My handmade wardrobe is beginning to burst at the seams as I create clothes that I want and love to wear. Knitting, making felt brooches and toys also keep my hands busy.

My two daughters and lovely man share this world with me as well as our noisy cat Lily.
